Well, you do have to configure and start the ftpd service...
There is a very good chance that you already have the ftp daemon... Check out /etc/inetd.conf, uncomment the ftp line to start it, then do a :
kill -HUP `ps -ef | grep [i]netd | awk '{print $2}'`
(Basically send a SIGHUP, or signal 1, to the inetd process to cause it to reload it's config.)

It's probably a good idea to lock it down a little more if it's publically (via the internet) available, as opposed to on a local network.

Also, if you have any more questions, could you post the results or "uname -a" so we know what kind of system you're working with?

NAME
gssd - generates and validates GSS-API tokens for kernel RPC SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/gss/gssd DESCRIPTION
gssd is the user mode daemon that operates between the kernel rpc and the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) to generate and validate GSS-API security tokens. In addition, gssd maps the GSS-API principal names to the local user and group ids. By default, all groups that the requested user belongs to will be included in the grouplist credential. gssd is invoked by the Internet daemon inetd(1m) the first time that the kernel RPC requests GSS-API services. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWgssk | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Evolving | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO

The following signal has the specified effect when sent to the server process using the kill(1) command: SIGHUP gssd rereads the gsscred.conf(4) options. The gssd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/network/rpc/gss:default Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil- ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config- uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. SunOS 5.10 11 Aug 2004 gssd(1M)
